Pre-Law Education

Law school applicants generally must have received, or have completed all the requirements for, a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. The School of Law does not, however, require any particular pre-law curriculum. Generally, exposure to the humanities, history, the physical and social sciences, mathematics and language skills is important for the study of law. All students are urged in their undergraduate studies to take elective work in English composition or creative writing.

For additional information, see the current The Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools, published each year by the Law School Admission Council in cooperation with the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. The guide includes material on the law and lawyers, pre-law preparation, applying to law schools, and the study of law, together with individualized information on most American law schools. It may be obtained at college bookstores, ordered online from Law School Admission Services or ordered via U.S postal service at:
